Message: [QUOTE="undersized, post: 4322976, member: 11260"] All you do is sit back and scream SEC bias at every opportunity. (The ACC actually faired worse, btw.) [B]Using the selection committee's current criteria[/B], tell me who should have been seeded lower/higher this year. I'll wait... As I said, I'm on board with an overhaul of the criteria. But that is a different conversation. According to their current criteria, the bracket this year was actually well done. lmao, no. The point of seeding is to rank teams according to their regular season resumes. That doesn't mean "the whole point is that the top 8 advance." As for 3 unseeded teams making the WCWS, sure it's a rarity. But compare to men's basketball -- that's just the equivalent of 3 teams in say the 5-8 seed range making the Elite 8. Perfectly normal actually. It's a sign of parity and the fact that upsets are more common in softball and baseball. [/QUOTE]
